Today I had the incredible opportunity to follow the procession of the anunciation of the Virgin Mary in Lourdes. Our trip took us here very serendipitously. The collection of people from all walks of life: young, old, children, families, many nurses with patients, people from afar, people of varied faiths coming together to walk faithfully was a beautiful thing to witness. I was blown away. #lourdes#virginmary#faith#procession#beautiful#community#speechless

The traditional Teej procession was taken out with all its regal pomp and pageantry in Jaipur. It started from the Tripoliya Gate (City Palace), meandering its way through Tripolia Bazar and Chhoti Chaupar, Gangauri Bazaar to wind up at the Ponderik Park near Chaugan Stadium. The procession was witnessed by the tourists, the travel fraternity and the local populace. There were camels, horses and cultural performances like Kachchi Ghodi, Gair, Kalbaliya and chakri dances. The procession included: the cannon carriage, bullock carts, horse carriage and decorated chariots. A number of bands also accompanied the procession(Photo-Arvind Sharma)
